no one here is really dumb enough to google for cracks/serials, are they?!
or u could just use the changetarget trick 
psilous have u gotten the teleport delay to work for u personally before recommending it in such great detail?

alternatively, u could decompile the RC map to see how valve did it...#1 have a trigger that targets MM. Have MM target a change_target that gives the teleport a proper target to activate, and also target MM_sound.
MM_sound will target a ambient generic at 0.0 set to be initally silent, and then target the ambient generic again at 0.2 or whatever to shut the sound ambient_generic off.
#2 I'm not sure i understand your second question correctly but here is one way to delay the teleport:
the easiest i can think of is to send the player to a "limbo area", which could be nothing more than a black box with another teleport in it. have the teleport in the limbo area to be targeting an erroneous target. Whenever you want the player sent to his final destination, trigger a trigger_changetarget(like above) on that second telport to give it the proper target. (you could do this with the same multimanager that initiated the first teleport if you wanted)
There might also be a flag on the telport entity to delay teleport, or a keyvalue to delay the activation time, i can't remember. I don't know what RC is btw.. sorry1

HEY that was it! i had created a "bus" subdirectory, where none had existed in the garry's mod model pack paths! Removing that subdirectory and just plopping all the model files in the model folder worked!
THANK YOU!
Strangely, i found after experimenting a little, that in order for the models to show up, i had to do this: In the cstrike\models folder, i needed the model files in there own subdirectory(bus), plus, the model files plopped naked in cstrike\models without a subdirectory.. Here's where i copy/pasted files to get the models to show up in hammer:
-cstrike\models\bus - bus subdirectory with model files, plus the same model files naked in the cstrike\models\ directory (in the gmod directory, models have no bus subdirectory, but i won't work without having both fsr)
sourcesdk_content\cstrike\materialsrc\bus - materials files in the bus subdirectory, just as they are in gmod folder.
cstrike\materials\bus - material files in the bus subdirectory, just as they are in the gmod folder.
Edit x2: I also found some these models will only show up as cycler entity, and not as prop_static or detail.. Also, when you shoot them, they "cycle" between sequences.. Anyone know a way to avoid this?
THANK YOU!

Hi!
i'm trying to import some gmod vehicles into my cs:s maps as prop static. please excuse my noob, as i am very new to source mapping...
The materials show up in the material browser fine. the models show up in model browser, but model preview is a blank grid. When i place the prop_static in game, it gives you the the bounding box in hammer of the model, but there is no model there...
i copied the models folder for the vehicle(named "bus") to
cstrike\models
sourcesdk_content\cstrike\modelsrc
and for kicks, i copied the material and model files to:
cstrike\materials\models
It should be noted these are drivable vehicles from gmod that i simply want to use as props.
If someone could shed some light on importing these into counter-stirke, and/or link to a tutorial, i'd be grateful!

wow strider that's insane... if you buy a digital copy of the game is it closer to US prices, or are they still inflated like that?!
hey, if you're willing to pay $60 for a game, or $25 for a blu-ray, that's your business. i would NEVER waste $60 on a video game, not ever, and i don't even own a blu-ray player. (a lie i guess, cuz i have one on my laptop, but still, i've never bought a blu-ray dvd)
i would spend maybe $45 max on a game, so usually i have to wait until they come down in price, and even then, i'll only buy i game i know i'm going to like and play over and over again...

Blaming the high cost of video games on pirates is just bullshit.
$60 dollars is too much money for a game. If they charged a more reasonable price, more people would buy it. If you're looking to assign blame for inflated game prices, look to the devs not the pirates.... Blizzard charges high prices for their games to keep their large swimming pools of money filled, with well, more money..

i would recommend imaging your drive once in a while(i do mine once a month or so). this way, if you get a nasty bugger like this, you can just restore your machine exactly to your last image. (pm me if you'd like more info on disk imaging)
either way, you should definitely format imo...

Do you walk out of a restaurant without paying because you didn't like the food?Absolutely. if i go out to eat and the food is shit, it gets sent back. I either order something else or get my money back.
You pay to watch a movie at the cinema. If you didn't like it, does that mean you shouldn't pay?Again, absolutely. I've walked out of a couple movies because they were absolute shit. I've never been turned down for a refund at a movie, not even questioned about it; they just politely give you a refund.
As far as pirating, i'll do as was said earlier: i'll preview a game by pirating it. If i really like it, i'll buy it. Case and point: Starcraft II.
I played it in beta and later downloaded a utility to play it in offline mode. After playing it extensively in SP, (and MP in beta), i decided it's not worth $60... not by a long shot.
If i like a game, i will always pay for it, not to mention it is the only way to play MP.
If a dev company can't release something worth paying for, it shouldn't be paid for imo. If a game is shit it's shit, no matter how much blood/sweat/jizz/money they put into it. =)
sidenote: It used to be at Electronics Boutique, you could buy PC games, and had a 5-day period to return them, though that was a long time ago.
Just because someone's opinion is different from yours doesn't make them wrong... Also, everyone here has done it at one time or another, so NOBODY has the moral high ground to look down on others who admit to it.. I think some people in this thread should take it easy...

Wasn't longcat done in mspaint?
its a great way to go, 'specially custom textures.. I personally find texturing from scratch very difficult/time-consuming, but I'm improving...
inception such a pwn movie... reminds me of this.

Some people claim to see the very face of god!
speaking of this, maybe we can get add the ability to "watch" threads/tutorials, etc in twhl4.info. As well, perhaps add an email notification, which i think would be nice.
idk it's always worked for me.
Edit: That was it huntey! i simply took the floor which was all displacements, cloned it, destroyed the dislpacements, textured it null, and WALLOP it works perfectly now!(my entire 3dskybox floor was a leak and i didn't realize it...)
THANK YOU
umkay so i know there are "cracks" on the edges of the 3dskybox and the toolsky texture, caused from adding noise to the floor of the 3dsky, which is all displacements.. so i gess the displacements ARE casusing the error?
also btw, i found i could eliminate the shadows by adjusting the border of the 3dskybox and the "hole" in the center where my map placeholder (null textured box) lays; i noticed in-game that when i noclipped at the border of the map to the sky, i could see the 3dsky floor overlapping the skybox a bit.
If the placeholder part of the 3dskyfloor is overlapping too far into the 3dsky floor, you get a bright sheen to the ground. If the placholder floor is not close enough, you get the ugly black shadows. hope that makes sense and/or i'm interpreting it correctly..

can't believe i never checked the compile log... up until this point, i never had a visual error before mapping source, so i've kinda got out of the habit of looking at the compile log... That's bad on me, sorry. =(
looking at it, i find about 6 of these:

FindPortalSide: Couldn't find a good match for which brush to assign to a portal near (3072.0 -3403.0 -475.2)
Leaf 0 contents: CONTENTS_SOLID
Leaf 1 contents:
viscontents (node 0 contents ^ node 1 contents): CONTENTS_SOLID
This means that none of the brushes in leaf 0 or 1 that touches the portal has CONTENTS_SOLID
Check for a huge brush enclosing the coordinates above that has contents CONTENTS_SOLID

I see this happening sometimes with my 3dskybox:
It's actually a mirror imgae of my map. I know this because i threw a smoke grendae on the world side, and it shows up in view out on the 3dskybox horizon..
There's also the shadows at the border of the 3dkskybox/world side, which looks like shit. =(
Any idea what's causing it? I don't think the displacements have anything to do with it, since i've seen it happen before i ever used displacements, but idk...
Is this caused from me translating the outter bounds of the 3dskybox after shrinking it down to .0625?
tanks in advance for any replies! =)

I'd love to see editorials written by the the senior mods and/or the more experienced users on mapping-related stuff; something less formal than a tutorial yet more focused than a journal post.
i would pay for BM:S in a heartbeat..
my gpu goes up to 130 degrees when i play bionic commando rearmed, unless i underclock my 9800 gts to the lowest possible clock speeds.. it never shuts off no matter how hot it gets =(
I think TWHL.info is fantastic.
I would just control it with a trigger_changetarget, it much easier.
have the telrport targeting a false target, and when u want it activated, have the mm/button/whatever target a changetarget which targets the real teleport destination.
hope I understood your question correctly and this helps!

skals, i could make you a small tutorial on importing models from max to hl smd, plus all the stuff(compiler, qc file, plugins, etc) included in a pack for you if you want..
There are a shit-ton of tutorials on the subject available as well if i remember correctly.
As far as animations are concerned i'm totally illiterate, sawy.

Idk I think changing the site's name is a mistake.
I don't think it much matters if u want to represent other engines and games, since. Whenever I think of twhl, I'm not thinking "the whole half-life," but just a great community and level design site.
As far as having a .com, .org, or. net attached, I think is largely unimportant these days, at least for a site like this. I only pay attention to premium names if it's like a bank's site or something where I will be entering personal/financial info

i;m making a map where a fence runs around almost the whole map(think of something like nuketown with fences all over), and i made the entire set of fences one func_detail. is this ok, or should i break up the fence into smaller "chunks" or sepaerate func_details. (I seem to remember a problem with goldsource transparent fence textures, that not all the sides would render properly if you made the entire fence one func_wall..)
OR, would it be even better to Propper the whole thing into a model?
